For a vegetarian option, substitute the bacon drippings with olive oil and add a pinch of smoked paprika for a smoky flavor. Fresh mushrooms can be used. Saute them in bacon drippings before adding the green beans For extra flavor, consider adding a clove of minced garlic or a pinch of red pepper flakes while cooking the green beans. Serve immediately for the best flavor and texture.
